6. By Rule 5.3a of the 2019 Golf Canada Rules of Golf, players must be present and ready to play at the time established by the Committee. Players arriving late but within 5 minutes of their scheduled starting time are assessed a two-stroke penalty applied to their first hole. Players arriving after 5 minutes are disqualified.

8. For a ball known to be in a penalty area, either play the ball or follow the relief procedures in Rule 17. A provisional ball may not be played for a ball known to be in a penalty area. Any such ball played becomes the ball in play under penalty of stroke and distance.
   
9. When a group falls "out of position", for example as a result of searching for one or more balls, please make every effort to regain your position. A group may play "ready golf" when they fall out of position.
